VIA onboard video overlay settings

**Nanozic** · 07-23-2004, 09:19 AM

So I finally found out that by adjusting the overlay settings you can get video playback to be brighter. Problem is when I try to adjust them on my VIA MII it says that I can't because either I don't have a video playing or something else kinda weird (I forget what it said) even when I tried with a bunch of different videos playing.

I did however see that it said something about "there might not be enough video memory". When I installed my system I do remember lowering the on-board video memory size, I think from 64meg to 32meg. Could this be my problem? Has anyone else adjusted the overlay settings on the VIA video without any problems?

Thanks.

overlay only works when your playing a video at the same time. try that. else you could adjust the settings in the other section, forgot the name. its another tab on the same screen.

Right I understand that it only works while a video is playing. I tried it with a vidoe playing. I even tried different video formats and I still was not allowed to change it. I just want to be able to get the video playback to default a little more saturated and brighter. I'll try again tonight, I only messed with it a little be in my parking spot at work this morning. I've only had the system in the car for a week so I'm still fiddling with it.
